Victory — In-State Tuition in Wisconsin

June 29, 2009 in News Article, Wisconsin Dream Act by Mohammad

A big victory for all students and groups in Wisconsin who have been pushing for in-state tuition.

We just got word this morning that the final budget, which will be signed this morning by Governor Jim Doyle, will include an in-state tuition provision.  This will allow for students who graduate from a WI high-school to be eligible receive in-state tuition within the UW System and Wisconsin technical college schools.

Thank you to the many groups that have been fighting for this, specifically members of Voces de la Frontera.  Check out their website for details and videos on how they were able to pull off such a win, this group is really amazing and if you are in Wisconsin you should definitely give them a call and find out what you can do to help out in Wisconsin.
